There is still some sorting and cleaning stuff to do, but today I could open!

Stage 3 Studio Reorganization

Stage 3 Late January


The big desk has been moved to the left side, the fabric shelving unit has been dragged nearer the window.  The place is a mess still, one week until Open Studios.

From the other direction, table on left contains Valentine card makings.

Wonderful stuff received from a friend

Recently I received a whole lot of wonderful stuff that was dug up at the Big Dig in Boston some years ago.  Much of it is very old.  John Cornelius kindly gave me some of his hoard of wondrous objects and let me see some of the treasures he is keeping.

This is the whole lot, including: pipes, jaw bone, leather shoe soles, glass, pottery and little tusks.

Can't wait to use them.  Thanks John.

Studio mess

Yesterday, I received, for free, a big desk for my studio.  I was going to reorganize the studio anyway, but now I'm forced to do it RIGHT NOW.  A good project for January I think.  I just took down the Christmas tree (big box on floor).  I'll keep posting as time goes on.  Here are two images, one from each end of the studio.

From the other direction, gallery area is near the door, work area in the back.

I'm going to try to do more digital collage this year, this is the first.
